title: Indications for surgical or radiological placement of cannulas for intra-arterial induction chemotherapy.
abstract: Intra-arterial chemotherapy achieves a higher concentration and increased total dose of drugs to a locally advanced cancer. This principle is increasingly being applied for pretreatment of advanced or aggressive localised tumours to make them more curable by subsequent radiotherapy. This is sometimes called "neo-adjuvant" chemotherapy but better called INDUCTION chemotherapy (Stephens 1989).
